HO>>S<<O

2 axle Plymouth MDT


<>The above photo shows the "HO" Plymouth with an S scale F unit.
How close is this to correct S scale?
I have not found dimensional data for an M series unit.
For photos of Prototype Plymouths, see
http://www.northeast.railfan.net/diesel123.html
Some photos show freight cars in the background. 
Based on these photos, the model certainly is close in size, even if not exactly right.
Here are the S scale dimensions of this model:
Length:  22'     
Width:  7' 9"  
Height:  9' 10"
I have not found a photo of an M unit that exactly matches this model, although I have found units that are quite similar, for example, the cab front window configuration is very similar to that of EBT #M-5-A.
Note that the prototype photos have a hood side extension on one side only, vs both sides on the model.
Several prototype photos show air tanks behind the cab vs a "toolbox" on the model.
Note the high coupler location on the prototypes.
I suspect that this model is extremely close to correct S scale.
